This was produced, primarily, by eating of something
disagreeing with the body, and the eliminations being
checked, causing clogging up of poisons in the system. This
has been eliminated to some extent, yet there is at present
sufficient of these poisons distributed through the system as
to cause inertia, inactivity, and the tendency of
drowsiness, and the breath bad, and the tendency towards
temperature - though not ABOVE normal, save spasmodically.
The cleansing of the system is very good, in so far as it has
gone - but, as given, there are still evidences of these
resultant conditions, or the clogging of system through these
conditions, and with the metabolism already low - especially
as to the division in the system as respecting replenishing
forces for a developing body, this needs rather the careful
attention, that this equilibrium in digestion and
elimination, and in the metabolism, may be perfectly
established so that the nominal development may be near
normal.
We would be rather careful of the diet FIRST, and this should
be kept up at LEAST until the condition is ENTIRELY relieved.
We would first establish, then, the near normal condition
between the hepatics and the activity of liver and kidneys,
without the strain on the mucous or serum producing forces of
the intestinal digestion, or of unbalancing the lachrymal
conditions as existent through the system, or of the
producing through these ducts an irritation. This may be
established by first using those properties in the system
(Castoria) in small BROKEN doses, see? beginning with only a
few drops, giving same every half an hour until there is the
full action from the system, the eliminations fully
established. THEN, as for medicinal properties, leave same
off. Only twice each day give an intestinal antiseptic in
the form of one to three drops of Glyco-Thymoline in
teaspoonful of water; and see that the system is sufficiently
covered or flooded with water through the alimentary canal,
or drinking. Give more water as medicinal properties.
Do not give the body apples raw, or BANANAS in any form.
Rather let THIS be an outline for a diet, though,
necessarily, this may be modified occasionally to meet the
needs of a DEVELOPING and growing body.
Of mornings: Cereals - these changed from dry to the cooked.
Cream of Wheat or Wheatena, or Oatmeal, or Grape Nuts, or
Corn Flakes, or Rice Flakes - with the cream MIXED - not full
raw. First giving a small amount of orange juice.
In the middle of the day, or noon lunch: JUICES (not the
meats, but the juices) of meat. Broths or something of that
nature, with a minimum amount of sweet.
In the evenings: This may be changed with those of spinach,
of lentils, beans, and broths - with those of prune juice, or
such. These of course may be alternated. Cooked apples, if
they are of the jenneting (Jonathan?) variety, may be given.
None of those of the more woody variety, as those of Ben
Davis or of Wine Sap, or of the fall or woody variety.
These should NOT be given this body in ANY manner.
As for the creating of the proper conditions in the digestive
system, the Bulgarian Milk or BUTTERMILK, properly handled.
PREFERABLY those of the Bulgarian would be the better, this
adding sufficient of the lactic and lacteals for the system
for the proper stimulation through the lacteal ducts on the
lachrymal system, or the changing into the new forces for the
blood supply.
Keep the body under the sunlight, either directly or
artificially, as much as possible. This for the
strengthening of the blood supply and for the activity of
the chrysalis, or of the forces as will build calcium in the
system. Do that.
Ready for questions.
As for trips, or for those conditions as might or would come
to the body through changes of scenes or environmental
conditions - as has been given respecting the body, the sea
trip, while upsetting in a manner, would NOT be detrimental
to the body, provided the proper care is taken as respecting
the diet. Keep closer to those elements as would create lime
in the system. On such a voyage (if sea voyage taken), use
those of equal parts of cinnamon water and lime water as an
alternative for the settling of the stomach and digestive
system. The sun and sand would be well for the body.
We are through for the present.
BACKGROUND
7/04/28 Father obtained Check Physical Reading
142-4 for him
for weak ankle.
10/14/28 See father's reading
900-411, Par. 9-A--14-A warning
of [
142]'s susceptibility to cold, advising to rub with sweet
oil, as to gain in weight and immunization to polio scare,
etc.
11/27/28 Father wrote: "Our baby [
142] is better although
not entirely well."
11/30/28 Father wrote: "The baby seemed to suffer from a
severe upset stomach and felt motivated to call you only
because his fever mounted so high that we, including the
doctor, were becoming a little frightened for a while.
However, the whole thing seemed to have been due to a bad
stomach, although one never knows what may result from such a
condition. He seems a good deal better this morning and his
fever is almost gone, so that things seem to be clarifying
nicely, although he is far from his old own lively self.
When that child wants to do nothing but lay around most of
the time and sleep the rest of the time and won't eat, he is
sick."
REPORTS
12/05/28 Father obtained Check Physical Reading
142-6 for him
in regards to smallpox vaccination before going on trip, etc.
